36 inches from the heels to the tops with good two way stretch. Fits US Women's shoe size 7-10.5 wide (men's 5-8). Tops stretch up to at least 20 inches, the body of the sock stretches to about 18 inches; the wider your thighs are, the less high these will go, but you can always cuff them or slouch them.

These tend to be loose on thinner feet and ankles, but they're great for wider feet!

These are made on antique machines, so the manufacturing process sometimes causes the feet on these styles to twist so that it looks like the toe seam is on the side of the sock. If you have problems with keeping the toe seam and heel aligned properly, we recommend that you try washing them because, once you do, we find that the fibers relax and they're much easier to straighten out.

Not very stretchy but still awesome!I love the color and stripes of these socks and couldn't wait to get them on once they arrived. They aren't quite as stretchy as I would like them to be but they still fit as a thigh high so I'm not complaining. The foot on these are a bit loose and kind of baggy on my feet but I wear a size 6-61/2 in women's shoes so my feet are on the smaller side. I like the fact that the top of the socks are able to be folded down to make a cuff at the top, in my opinion it gives it a better look. I really would not try to wear these if your thighs are any bigger than mine though, only because they don't stretch enough to go up your leg where you would want it. Other than that these are pretty awesome socks and I love them!

Love love love!I'm a plus sized girl (5 foot 3 and 190ish pounds) and I was worried that these wouldn't fit. They are a little tight around the knee up but I mean I didn't do the recommended wash yet, apparently that relaxes the seams a little bit. I couldn't be happier though, so sexy!

Great QualityI bought a pair and they came in the mail today. (SUPER FAST SHIPPING) I was worried that they wouldn't fit because I'm a big girl and always had trouble with things going over my thighs. These were better than I thought even though my worries were right and I couldn't pull them all the way up my thighs without them rolling back down or they would be too tight, but I was able to get them just over my knees and I folded the tops up a little so they wouldn't fall. They are super comfy and warm and Im so excited that I bought these for the winter and fall season. I'm a little disappointed that they couldn't go over my thighs, but that's always been a constant problem for me so I don't mind much and I didn't (and still don't) know my measurements when I bought these so it's probably my fault, but I still love them and they're super cute.

Not what I expected, but not bad either...Well, I was hoping these would stay up (even if just over my knees) but they stretched out and were baggy from the knee down and looked frumpy. :( I pulled them up to my thighs and folded the tops down to right above my knees and put garters around the folded part. They were fine and stayed put until I had to walk around a bookstore...then they started to get baggy and fall down (yes, even with the garters...) so I had to take the garters off, slouch them and keep them just below my knees, which was not the idea I had when I bought these. On the other hand, they were warm and pretty! I would just steer folks to the Dreamer Socks and leave these alone. Sorry!

Takes a bit of getting use to...I wanted some nice strong striped socks that I could wear to romp about in and these seem to stand up to my abuse fairly well. My only complaint is that they are a bit loose around the ankle and as a bigger girl I have small issues with them continuing to slide down. However after pulling them up for a little while they seem to have finally adjusted and are staying in place now. Otherwise wonderful socks, I love them and they give my legs a nice breeze regardless of being made a bit tougher.

Super comfyI just got these a few days ago and they're fantastic! I ordered the blue & denim color.
I was a little concerned about them fitting my thighs, but they come all the way up, though do roll down a bit
My only complaint would be that the foot part is a bit roomy for me; I have size 10 feet.
Other than that they're super cute!

Fantastic!I just bought myself a pair of these guys, and they are very nice indeed! I have a problem with my legs being cold all the time, but I slipped these right on and WOW! nice and toasty now! My only complainant is that the foot is a little loose and rough and so my toes are a little cold because of that, and the texture is a little uncomfortable to walk on, but slipping some short ankle socks on before these makes these a dream to wear! I also find that they like to slip down to my knee when I'm not paying attention, but they make some cute baggy socks, and are extra warm when they do that, so it really is nothing major for me at least.

My partner loves these socks and so do I. But I can't wear them with my huge feet. Are you planning to provide a version of thigh-high Super Stripes for larger foot sizes?

Asked by: Haus

We're sorry, but we are not planning to offer the Super Stripes in a larger foot size any time soon.

How similar are these to the O Basics in fit or texture? I know they are a longer sock so they'll be a bit different even if they have some things in common.

Asked by: Mushroom

The Super Stripes definitely use a thicker yarn for their knit, so their texture isn't as fine as the O Basics. You can see what I'm talking about in this image (http://blog.sockdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/04_knit.jpg) from the Sock Journal on Pink (http://blog.sockdreams.com/2014/04/11/colours-pinks/), which compares the Super Stripes to the more finely knit Pink Knees. The "Knees" styles are made with the same gauge of yarn that the O Basics are.
You'll also probably find the Super Stripes a little looser, especially in the ankle, than the O Basics, due to their knit and how the older machines make socks.

I was wondering why you don't plan to restock the pink and natural socks again? Thank you!

Asked by: Eurae

I believe it's because they've fallen off in recent years (people stopped buying them). When that happens, we usually clear an old style out so that we can make room for new ones. We've still got that color combination in Pink Knees and Super Knees, though!

I was wondering if there could be a way at all to get a pair or two of these thigh high socks to come in the colors of house Gryffindor? :D

Asked by: eardis

I'm afraid we're not really set up to do custom work in such small quantities, but we do have a couple of knee high Gryffindor options!

How do these compare to the M Stripes? From the size descriptions and fiber content, they seem almost identical. What's the main difference?

Asked by: nothingwithyou

The Super Stripes are a bit thicker, and knit with a thicker yarn. The Super Stripes also have a ribbed and wider cuff. They've a less smooth finish and the thicker yarn and material of the Super Stripes makes for a heartier scrunch at the ankles (where both styles are a bit loose).
You can kind of see the textural differences in the styles better if you click to enlarge the image for the Super Stripes in Black & Dark Red (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/super-stripes:8599) and the image for the M Stripes in White & Light Blue (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/m-stripes:6301).

These are my first pair of Super Stripes and they are really tight around my calf and thigh. Is there any way to make them fit better so I can wear them as thigh highs?

Depending on how much extra stretch you need, this tutorial on "wet stretching" might help! http://blog.sockdreams.com/2013/02/22/tips-and-tricks-blocking/
